What are some challenges that organizations may face in creating and implementing a career development program? 

Question 2:

A) Imagine that you are preparing for your first performance feedback session with your employee. You want the session to be effective for the employee, so he/she will have the motivation and knowledge to improve performance. You also want to provide a valid, accurate evaluation of the employee’s performance. What are the steps that you would take to prepare for the session? What sources of data would you consider? Finally, outline how you would conduct the feedback and evaluation. 

B) Assume the role of the employee. How would you need to prepare for your performance evaluation meeting? 

Question 3:

Define the term “security” with respect to today’s workplace. Discuss in detail the actions an employer can take to minimize the risk of bullying and workplace violence. What are some other security concerns organizations face and how can these risks be mitigated? Discuss at least three strategies. 

Human Service Professionals come from different disciplines including social work, counseling, marriage and family, and psychology. No one field has been shown to be more effective than another when it comes to counseling. However, studies show that some Human Service Professionals are more effective than others. One of the most important skills of all Human Service Professionals is building rapport to discuss personal and sensitive topics.

Choose someone you are comfortable with and interview them on a controversial topic in which you may have differing viewpoints.

Write a 1-2 page synopsis on the mock interview including the topic, their viewpoints, how you got them to discuss the sensitive topic, and strategies you believe make an “effective” Human Service Professional.

Complete the conflict resolution questionnaire created by Dr. Johnson at the University of Arizona to determine your personal style. It is important for you to understand your personal conflict resolution style and be aware of it as you have difficult conversations.
 

Next, review the “Let’s Apply It” section in Chapter 2 called You’re an Avoider If… and complete the checklist of things that may have crossed your mind when having a difficult work-related conversation.  Painless Performance Conversations

How to score the Conflict Management Questionnaire:

As stated, the 15 statements correspond to the five conflict resolution styles. To find your most preferred style, total the points in the respective categories. The one with the highest score indicates your most commonly used strategy. The one with the lowest score indicates your least preferred strategy. However, if you are a leader who must deal with conflict on a regular basis, you may find your style to be a blend of multiple styles.

Style Corresponding Statements: Total: The numbers represent the questions above.

• Collaborating:      1, 5, 7 ____9___
• Competing:      4, 9, 12 _____7__
• Avoiding:      6, 10, 15 ____4___
• Accommodating:      3, 11, 14 _____11__
• Compromising:      2, 8, 13 _____6__

Conflict Scenario

You and your roommate live in a dorm room on campus. Your roommate has a friend who is on fall break at a different time than your school. She wants to invite her friend to visit and stay for two nights. You know that you have three tests and a paper due that week. You would rather not have a guest that week. 

How will you work out this situation with her?

What conflict management style did you use?

What would you do if your roommate did not want to use this style?

• Hefler, et al. v. Wells Fargo & Company, et al (Links to an external site.)., Case No. 3:16-CV-05479-JST
  • See also: Wells Fargo Was Just Hit with a Shareholder Class Action Lawsuit (Links to an external site.)

After you have reviewed the case (this includes searching for other resources), you will prepare a case analysis in which you address the following in 2-3 pages (not including a reference page):  

Introduction

• What is the case? 
• What are the facts in the case? Provide a brief summary.

Analysis

• What is the legal conflict / issue(s) that is presented? 
• What is the relevant legislation surrounding this dispute/case? 

Conclusion

• Has the dispute been resolved or a court decision made? 
  • Do you agree/disagree with outcome?
  • Do you agree/disagree with the likely outcome? 
  • If yes, what was the legal outcome?  
  • If not, what do you think will likely be the outcome? Why? 

4. formulate a plan for implementing a total rewards program in order to ensure success of the program

To supplement the final paper, you will develop an action plan for implementing the recommendations for the total rewards program. You are encouraged to use a Gantt chart or Pert or similar graphic to display a timeline and the interdependence or sequence of the activities. 

Be sure to include how you will collect the data for each metric and how you will set the targeted goal for each metric.

A good action plan contains 

• specific and quantifiable steps
• the order in which those steps are to be taken
• the individuals responsible for each step
• the individuals responsible for overall segments as applicable
• the required resources for each step; and
• the funding sources as applicable

The timeline adds to the presentation/paper and aids in the identification of success measures and issues/problems encountered and overcome. 

Another method of tracking/organizing your research is using an Annotated Bibliography.  An annotated bibliography is one of the most important tools in conducting research. It is a list of sources on a particular topic that includes a brief summary of the article in your own words (not copying the abstract) and the connection that supports your paper. 

Once you have identified your primary or secondary research topic(s), then you will begin to research and complete an Annotated Bibliography. .

You must select, read, and review 5 scholarly articles on your human resource topic(s). The articles must be peer reviewed journal articles from either Welder Library Eresources or Google Scholar.  Articles from dot com’s or dot org websites will not be accepted. 

Provide an annotated bibliography properly formatted in APA that addresses the following for each article.

More information regarding an Annotated Bibliography is located in the module 4 Read and Review section.

An annotated bibliography should avoid first person and be completed using APA format and include:

•  The purpose of the study
•  The findings of the study
• The relevance of the study to the student’s scholarly interests

Grading Rubric: 40 points

Each article is worth 6 points and will be evaluated using the information below. 

• 2 points – Article is peer reviewed and credible and comes from Welder Library Eresouces or Google Scholar 
• 2 points – Summary is a minimum or six sentences and provided the purpose of the study and the findings of the study in the student’s own words. 
• 2 points – Relevance to scholarly interest- student avoids first person and clearly makes a connection to how the information connects to their subject/paper. This should be a minimum of 2 sentences.
• 10 points – Proper APA format.

Please remember our focus is on five of the following topics:

• Remote Working Plan (telework)
• Business Continuity Plan
• Managing Employee Communication
• Maintaining Organizational Culture
• Talent Acquisition and Retention
• Engaging Remote Employees
• Essential versus Non-Essential Employees
• Implementation of Preventative Measures
• Considerations to Remain Open or Re-Opening
• Investment in Technology
• Handling of Sick Leave and/or Time-Off

Lesson 6: Workplace Safety and Global HR

Activity 6: Google Case Study Continued

For this activity, you will continue consulting with Google executives. They informed you that they are opening offices in Paris and London. They plan to relocate current employees who work in its Bay Area location. Google believes the use of expatriates is the best approach given their familiarity with the company and its strategic mission. The HR department is concerned about the safety of its employees. The Google executives and HR managers you meet with pose the following questions.

1. What sorts of factors do you think Google will      have to take into consideration as it tries transferring its culture and      reward systems and way of doing business to its operations abroad? We      believe that if we fail in London and Paris, plans to expand further will      be abandoned. 
2. What measures should we take to relocate our      executives? Obviously, in London language is not a barrier. We are      concerned about their safety, especially due to terrorist activities in      France. We are also concerned about some of the spouses’ abilities to      relocate and be happy.
